What is your style?

Our experts know that you are looking for a high-fashion, couture inspired gown. We have just what you are looking for.

Leather and lace? How about our fabulous featured black Coco Gown? This is a sneak peek from our upcoming Valentina Collection, which we’ll tell you more about soon! Combining classic black with a trending and modern cut and lots of lace, it is perfect for your formal occasion. And it is so comfortable, you will love wearing this gown!

Do you prefer a darker colour but don’t want to go completely black? Try on our Goddess Gown in antique blue or emerald! Made of absolutely trending 100% silk, the bodice with a low back hugs your body, highlighting your curves, then transitions into the graceful floor length skirt. You can wear this gown with or without the hand-beaded harness, which ties up around the neck and waist. It is a delightful example of the beadwork you can also find in our other fine accessories.

We love our navy Aphrodite Maid gown, which is an all-time favourite exquisite formal or bridesmaid gown. Made of smooth Thai silk and chiffon, it is available in over 30 different colours. The shape-embracing bodice fastens with long neck ties, giving you several tying options, then merges into a generous floor-length skirt with a dramatic back split.

Are you looking for glamorous bling? Check out our sequined and hand-beaded formal dresses. Brisbane city will be wowed when you step out of the limousine! Our Cleopatra Maxi may be just what you are looking for. The beautiful halter-neck bodice is hand sequined and elegantly transitions Grecian-style to the 100% silk skirt, which is available in more than 30 colours.

Our sweet Susannah Maxi with Crinkle Silk Chiffon Overlay is the stylish choice if you want to go strapless. The daring bodice is made of delicate French lace and sweeps down to an elegant chiffon skirt. Our hand sequinned Lizzie Belt is the perfect accessory to emphasise your waist and add a touch of sparkle to your outfit. The perfect tie-in to a gleaming headdress or comb.

Luxurious white is for you? White and off-white are definitely back in style! Our sleek and classy 100% Silk Tie Maxi gives you endless fastening options with the long white ties. Around your neck, over one shoulder or wrapped around, you’ll have fun with the different looks you can create with your beautiful gown!

We pride ourselves on the quality and workmanship demonstrated in each of our creations. Our brilliant designer searches for just the right exquisite hand-picked fabrics and laces for each of her divine formal dress styles. And thanks to their timeless elegance, each is perfectly suitable for many other occasions as well. With our rich variety of gorgeous accessories, the embellishments you add can change your look each time you wear your gown.
